Reverse AC Die Crack Mapping

Obverse 29 is observed with date placement at C and light die rougness within the lower loop of the 9. Obverse 29 has developed moderately heavy to heavy die flow lines and has acquired two separate clash marks in front of the eye of Miss Liberty from a clashing event with Reverse AC.

Reverse AC is in a similar die state as Obverse 29, with the advancement of moderately heavy to heavy die flow lines. Reverse AC has acquired a clash mark through (C)ENT from a clashing event with Obverse 29. Reverse AC has developed a rim break between 6:00 and 6:45 and the following die crack:
1. Die crack from the ribbon knot through the olive leaves.

Comments: I suspect that two separate clashing events occurred between Obverse 29 and Reverse AC, though I cannot clearly make out two separate clash marks through (C)ENT on the reverse due to a mark on the plate coin in that area.

Variety 27 was first identified by this author during late May 2019.
